New here with a question on SSDI Appeal

Hi, I have an SSDI appeal under review for migraine headaches/post concussion syndrome.

About 5 weeks ago I got a call from the SS office I took this as a GREAT sign as my initial application is from June 2017. We played phone tag but it was basically them telling me "Your case was approved,but we needed more info"( Like was my address the same,did I need a payee?" Are these 2 kids still minors? )

Any one have any idea how much longer it takes to get paid from this point ?

The web site still says " The web site info is last dated April 10th with "

Appeal Under Review

A medical decision has been made and we are working to process your decision. A Social Security Representative may contact you directly if we need any additional documents or information.

if i wanted to call make sure the ball has not been dropped WHO would I call ? I do not see a phone number for that address I have a State examiners phone number but it seems like it is out of his hands now? Do I go in to the local office or do I just wait? NO lawyer here just me .

Years ago it was a easy min 4 months but was more like 8 or 9.....Over the years SS is being cutting cut left and right now they are just overwhelmed by the workload....

Maybe now those numbers are doubled?....I filed my SSDI over 11 years ago, lots has changed and our politicians couldn't care less how long it takes us to file or even if we are approved....sad times, I hope you hear something very soon!

Thanks for your answer.

No, no attny..I consulted 3: one declined to take take the case and 2 said if I got to the judge level they would take it. So I have been on my own.
